ICYMI: Securing the border didn’t require magic.

It required leadership. 🇺🇸

The Biden border crisis became the worst in American history because leaders allowed it to happen.

Now the turnaround is happening just as fast.

No voter should have to blindly trust a QR code and hope the machine got it right. 🇺🇸

The law is clear: The voter’s marked text should be the official vote.

Why is that so hard for some people to accept? 🤷‍♀️

[America First Policy Institute State Action @a1states]

A ballot should not require a machine to tell voters what’s on it.

@kenblackwell is calling for transparency and accountability in Georgia’s election system as lawmakers reconvene ahead of the 2026 election.

The law is clear: The voter’s marked text should be the official vote. 🇺🇸

As Memorial Day comes to a close, may we never forget the Americans who gave everything so this nation could endure. 🇺🇸

Behind every freedom is sacrifice.
Behind every flag is a story.
Behind this country are heroes who never came home.

Tonight, we remember them.

[America First Policy Institute State Action @a1states]

Most Americans have seen the Missing Man Table.

Few know what every item means.

• The empty chair for those who never came home.
• The red rose for the families who still carry the loss.
• The black napkin for the grief left behind.
• The inverted glass because they cannot raise a toast with us today.
• The candle for the light of their memory that still burns.

This Memorial Day, may we never forget the heroes missing from the table but never absent from the heart of this nation. 🇺🇸

Since 1937, guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier have stood watch 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, through every season and every storm.

Every movement carries meaning. 21 steps. 21 seconds. 21 gun salute.

Even the guards wear no visible rank because the fallen they protect could outrank them all.

They are not there for ceremony. They are there to ensure America never forgets the heroes whose names are known only to God.

This Memorial Day, remember the fallen and those still serving far from home. 🇺🇸

[America First Policy Institute State Action @a1states]

Memorial Day is not about politics. It is about gratitude.

Gratitude for the Americans who never made it home so the rest of us could live free. 🇺🇸

Thank you to @HomeFreeGuys, @USAFBand, and @TheLeeGreenwood for this powerful tribute to the heroes we honor today.

Memorial Day is for the Americans who died defending this country not the criminals, activists, and politicians who helped burn cities to the ground while draping themselves in moral outrage.

The fact that some leaders are using today to memorialize George Floyd instead of America’s fallen heroes tells you everything you need to know.

Shameful.

[America First Policy Institute State Action @a1states]

One group died defending the American flag. 🇺🇸

The other became the excuse for riots, destruction, burned police precincts, and chaos in American cities.

This Memorial Day, we know who we’re honoring.

Shame on anyone trying to turn a day meant for America’s fallen heroes into a political statement.

This Memorial Day, we remember Army Spc. Christopher J. Holland of Brunswick, Georgia. 🇺🇸

At just 26 years old, Christopher gave his life serving our nation during Operation Iraqi Freedom after his unit was ambushed in Baghdad.

He was a son, a friend, a medic who chose to serve others, and a proud Georgian whose sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Today we honor his courage, his sacrifice, and the Gold Star families carrying his memory forward. #MemorialDay

“The rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air…”

The Star Spangled Banner was written in the middle of battle, with an American watching through smoke and fire to see if the flag still stood. 🇺🇸

This Memorial Day, we remember the heroes who made sure it still does.

[America First Policy Institute State Action @a1states]

One soldier. One child. One American flag. 🇺🇸

Moments like this remind us that service and sacrifice ripple far beyond the battlefield. They shape families, communities, and generations.

This Memorial Day, we honor those who served and the loved ones who carry their legacy forward.

The most solemn sound in America may be TAPS played at Arlington Cemetery. 🇺🇸

This Memorial Day, we remember the heroes who gave everything so America could remain free.

Washington keeps calling it “reform.”

Americans see it for what it is: another mass legalization push before the border is secure.

The Dignity Act puts legalization ahead of enforcement while Americans are still demanding accountability, operational control, and a government willing to enforce the law.

Americans deserve an immigration system built on sovereignty, security, and the rule of law. 🇺🇸

“Am I still the mother of two?”

That question from Sheridan Gorman’s mother says more about the human cost of the border crisis than any political argument ever could.

Americans deserve borders that are secure and communities that are safe. So that no parent has to endure this type of loss.🇺🇸

[America First Policy Institute State Action @a1states]

Sometimes 24 notes say what words never can.

Across America, volunteers with Taps for Veterans are driving hours, dropping everything, and showing up to make sure no fallen service member is laid to rest without the tribute they earned.

It is a powerful reminder that honor, gratitude, and remembrance still matter in this country. 🇺🇸
